My entry:
No Tricks, Just Treats
Max loved movies. One day, Max watched a movie about a pumpkin and got an idea.
He tiptoed around the house, collecting what he needed. First, he gathered a piece of orange paper and a hat. Then, he found a broomstick. Last, he grabbed the iPad.
Later, Max displayed his movie. Daddy smiled when the pumpkin dressed as a witch, gasped when a creak frightened her hat off, and chuckled when she lost her broom. Best of all, he hugged Max when another pumpkin helped pick up the hat, find the broom, and offered a Halloween treat.
Max loved movies!
If you participate in the challenge, please leave your story or link in my comments too, so I can be sure to read it. Happy Halloween, friends!
